The FLOORadation Nation Strikes Again!

One of entertainment’s dominant pleasure principals is dictated by this single practice: Ease them in gently, build slowly from the established anticipation, then slam the senses before releasing. With bare chests that could stop bullets and sexy legs you wish would jitterbug on your own grave, the stunning dance sensation Burn The Floor proves that the creative coals require no stoking whatsoever when reinvention comes into play.

A reinvented Burn The Floor sends the thermometre soaring at The Canon Theatre until May 1. One part song and two parts dance gives the production a throbbing vibe that tickles the senses.


This is the show that stormed the city almost a decade ago with blistering hot performers parading some eye popping choreography. The pace perfect production will inspire you to quit your day job for a life of perpetual waltzing, swinging, and jiving.

When the presentation isn’t toned down with graceful and mystical moments it accelerates with an explosion of liberating body movement that at times has more than two dozen limbs flailing. The sensory scorching synchronicity of it all is escapism at its best.

And that’s just the dancing portion brimmed with bouts of razzle dazzle and a strong dose of ball room blitz.

Burn The Floor feels like a rock concert with dancing when song sweeties Rebecca Tapping and Mig Ayesa step forward with powerful vocals to shake things up. All of which is backed by two thundering percussionists. The combined contributions add remarkable heat to the show’s hot and spicy international flavour.

What should be noted is that BTF is the brand that re-introduced dance to mainstream audiences long before couch potatoes began pledging allegiance to TV show competitions in recent years. There’s no replacing the live experience and with scrumptious costumes and lush lighting, thrill seekers really can’t ask for anything more.
